I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Chapter 144 My Ranks Are Equal to Small Goals

Amidst waves of "Hello, Mr. Shen!" from the audience, Shen Kang walked back and forth several times, scattering handfuls of banknotes like a shower of flowers.

The entire audience chanted "Hello, Mr. Shen!" with great enthusiasm, as if they were afraid that if they didn't shout loud enough, Mr. Shen wouldn't come and shower them with money.

Banknotes rained down, the crowd was filled with passionate fervor —

The manager of Haoli Restaurant rushed over and, upon opening the door, witnessed this scene.

He heard a lot of noise coming from here and was afraid something had happened, so he came to check it out, but he didn't expect to see this scene.

Even this manager, who prided himself on being knowledgeable and experienced, was dumbfounded. He cursed inwardly as a "nouveau riche," but couldn't help feeling envious—how wonderful it would be if his own boss could give out money like that?

"Manager, when will our boss be able to pay like this?" The waiter who came along blurted out his thoughts without thinking, his tone full of envy.

At that moment, he even wished he were an employee of this company.

The manager cursed the guy inwardly for being so clueless, but didn't reply. "Since there's nothing else, let's go. Close the door and don't disturb the guests."

He left with those words, followed by the two waiters who closed the door behind them. Even after they were a distance away, the two waiters were still whispering about the incident.

Even after they left, the greetings of "Hello, Mr. Shen" continued in the hall.

Banknotes rained down, and the entire venue erupted in a frenzy of excitement.

Xiao Qingxuan stood below, mouth agape, staring blankly at the scene. The innocent high school girl had never seen anything like it before.

So much so that she didn't even notice that He Qiuzhu was taking pictures of Shen Kang walking back and forth on the stage and throwing money around, recording the famous scene of "President Shen throwing money around".

In the footage, Kang Zhengyang is often seen pushing a cart piled high with banknotes, closely following Shen Kang, and also busy holding a microphone to Shen Kang's mouth.

After going back and forth several times and throwing out handfuls of banknotes, Shen Kang finally stopped.

He had been silently calculating in his mind that he had scattered about 100,000, which was about right.

Then he walked back to the front of the stage, and Kang Zhengyang followed, pushing a cart with a huge pile of banknotes on it, still a small mountain.

Shen Kang picked up the microphone, signaling everyone to quiet down.

After what just happened, everyone was no longer unfamiliar with this unfamiliar General Manager Shen, and they all obediently quieted down quickly.

Shen Kang patted the cart next to him, which was piled high with banknotes. "There's still a lot of money here. Does anyone want some?"

No one spoke up.

He asked again, and only a few of the bolder ones managed to utter "Xiang" once, followed by many more people saying "Xiang".

"If you want it, then take it with your own abilities!"

Shen Kang, holding the microphone, said loudly, "Everyone here has received training on selling smart rice cookers and knows exactly how much the commission is. The money is right here; how much you earn depends on your ability. The more you sell, the more you earn!"

The sales plan, training plan, and commission structure for the smart rice cooker have already been completed. Anjia Household Services has also trained its employees according to the established plan and publicized the commission scheme.

According to the plan, starting tomorrow, Anjia Home Services will begin selling smart rice cookers to customers.

After Shen Kang finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and directly announced the start of the dinner party. Then he and Kang Zhengyang left the stage.

The cart full of banknotes wasn't moved immediately; it remained on the stage, stimulating everyone's nerves, with two security guards watching nearby.

So much so that when people were eating, many of their eyes would occasionally drift towards that spot.

In fact, when they learned that the company wanted them to promote smart rice cookers, some of the more sensitive cleaning staff were inwardly resistant: they were there to do cleaning, why did they have to do sales?

Now, some people still feel resistant, but others are not so resistant anymore.

Shen Kang's seat was at the first table on the left, and he was already seated. An extra chair was added for Xiao Qingxuan.

The people at this table were all high-level executives of Anjia Household Services, including Kang Zhengyang, Li Su, Li Xiangjun, Song Xiaoyu, and others.

Song Xiaoyu majored in financial management. When she first started working as a dispatcher at Anjia's original stores, she also did accounting work and did a good job. As Anjia Home Service expanded, Shen Kang had her give up her dispatching job and take on accounting full-time. She is quite competent in her work and is currently in charge of the accounting work of several sites.

After Shen Kang sat down, Song Xiaoyu said with dissatisfaction, "Mr. Shen, why didn't you give us more? I only got two!"

"It's good enough that you have it, yet you're still complaining. You're a typical example of someone who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life," Shen Kang said casually, while looking down and texting.

Li Su then looked at Xiao Qingxuan sitting next to He Qiuzhu and asked curiously, "Boss, who is this little sister?"

Shen Kang didn't reply, but simply said, "Li Su, look at your phone."

Li Su took out his phone, glanced down, and saw a text message Shen Kang had sent him: "Don't expose my relationship with Professor Xiao. Remember, I'm just Professor Xiao's student. I'm not joking around with you. You must remember that."

Seeing that Li Su had seen the message, Shen Kang introduced her: "Her name is Xiao Qingxuan, and she's the niece of Professor Xiao, one of my teachers. She came to Yangcheng for the National Day holiday and happened to run into me, so I brought her over for a meal."

Professor Xiao's niece? The boss even told him not to reveal his relationship with Professor Xiao? Li Su was a little confused, but Shen Kang specifically said "I'm not just joking around with you," which was very rare, so he didn't ask, much less reveal it.

Aside from Li Su, the other members of the An family at the table didn't recognize Xiao Bonian. They quickly started chatting as they ate. "Manager Kang, when are you moving to a new location? Our customer service department needs to hire more people; we don't have enough space." "The new location has already been rented, and we'll be able to move soon. Just hang in there a little longer." —

During this time, people kept coming over to toast Shen Kang, but Shen Kang always said that he had to drive and would drink tea instead of alcohol.

Previously, the people at this table were fine, and everyone's attitude towards Shen Kang was relatively casual. Especially Song Xiaoyu, when Shen Kang picked up food, she turned the table, which made Shen Kang so angry that he turned the table back when she picked up food. The two of them turned the table back and forth, making it impossible for everyone at the table to eat. It was only after Kang Zhengyang came out to smooth things over that the situation was resolved.

The people coming from the other tables were much more respectful, all smiling obsequiously, practically bowing their glasses to the ground.

Sitting to the side, Xiao Qingxuan was witnessing such a scene for the first time. The Xiao family was just an ordinary family; her grandparents were both teachers, and her father had worked odd jobs in previous years. In recent years, he had opened a small glasses shop, and while their lives had improved somewhat, they were still far from this level. Her uncle, Xiao Bonian, was successful, but he was a scholar and rarely returned to his hometown. The other relatives in the Xiao family were also ordinary people, so this was truly the first time she had ever seen anything like it.

The banquet hosted by Anjia Household Services wasn't just about eating. Halfway through the meal, someone organized a performance and arranged for people to sing.

After a few people finished singing, someone started a chorus, asking Mr. Shen to sing one. Soon, everyone joined in, with many of the cleaning ladies clapping and laughing. Everyone was cheering for Mr. Shen to sing one.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Shen Kang didn't refuse. He rushed onto the stage, grabbed the microphone, and said, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll gladly accept and give you a performance!"

As for what to sing, he recalled the scene of Wang, the richest man in China, singing "West Sea Love Song" in his mind, so he also ordered "West Sea Love Song", wanting to compete with Wang, the richest man in China, across time and space.

"Since you left, I've lost all tenderness."

As soon as he finished singing a line, though he was a bit off-key, people below started cheering and clapping loudly.

After singing a few lines, some clever little devil came up with the idea of ​​getting seven or eight cleaning ladies to go up on stage and stand behind Shen Kang as his backup dancers. To call them backup dancers was really just them swaying their bodies and shaking their hands from side to side.

The aunties were all old enough to be Shen Kang's mothers, and they danced along, their faces beaming with smiles, showing off their big teeth.

Shen Kang was also very happy: When Wang, the richest man, sang "West Sea Love Song," the dancers behind him were a group of pretty young girls, but when he sang "West Sea Love Song," the dancers behind him were a group of laborers. Laborers are the most beautiful, so his entourage was no less impressive than Wang's.

Moreover, his singing skills were excellent, as could be seen from the reactions of the audience; they were all completely captivated. So, Mr. Shen sang even more enthusiastically.

Song Xiaoyu was sitting in Shen Kang's seat. She had originally come over to talk to He Qiuzhu, but now she covered her ears with both hands and looked speechless.

Who came up with the terrible idea of ​​making President Shen go up and sing? This is just torture for everyone!

Ironically, He Qiuzhu really liked it. When she saw that Shen Kang was about to sing, she even asked Kang Zhengyang to borrow a DV camera from someone at the restaurant. Now, He Qiuzhu was holding the DV camera and filming Shen Kang on stage, her little head swaying back and forth with Shen Kang's singing, seemingly very engrossed.

"Qiuzhu, don't you think it sounds awful?" Song Xiaoyu couldn't help but lean in and ask loudly.

He Qiuzhu didn't even glance at Song Xiaoyu; her eyes were fixed on Shen Kang. "It sounds really good."

"Well, so you're implying that your lover is talking nonsense?" Song Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, feeling like she had asked a completely pointless question.

At that moment, some clever little devil, perhaps wanting to present flowers to President Shen but unable to find any, took a plate and took all the rose petals used to decorate the "steamed fish" dish on each table, placing them on the plate to create a flower arrangement. He then rushed onto the stage with the plate and presented this special flower arrangement.

When Shen Kang saw the plate of flowers, he paused for a moment while singing. He glanced at the man a couple more times, thinking to himself that he was truly talented. He then accepted the uniquely creative flower arrangement and continued singing while holding the plate.

When the final song was finished, the entire audience erupted in applause and cheers!

Shen Kang was very satisfied. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he wanted to sing another song so that everyone could enjoy it more.

As a result, Song Xiaoyu rushed up and forcefully pulled him off the stage, saying, "President Shen, that's enough, that's enough for now, you're tired!"

"I'm not tired! Song Xiaoyu, what do you mean?"

"You might not be tired, but the aunties who were dancing along are! They have to go to work tomorrow!" —

Under Song Xiaoyu's persistent dragging, Shen Kang was helplessly pulled off the stage, feeling slightly regretful.

"Shen Kang, I filmed it all!" He Qiuzhu held up the DV camera in front of Shen Kang.

Shen Kang exclaimed in approval, "As expected of Anjia's go-to photographer, you captured such an important moment, Mr. Shen! Your professionalism is truly exceptional!"

He estimated that many years later, his "President Shen's performance" clip would have at least five million views online, with the comments section filled with "Hello, President Shen".

"I'll reward you with a piece of mutton." Shen Kang picked up a piece of braised mutton and fed it to He Qiuzhu, watching her obediently eat it.

"Shen Kang, another one."

"That's all the rewards."

"One more piece, I'm hungry."

"What a hassle." Shen Kang complained, but then picked up another piece of braised mutton and fed it to her.

Xiao Qingxuan sat silently to the side, her mind still replaying the scene from earlier: Shen Kang's singing was so awful, yet the entire audience was completely captivated, cheering loudly and applauding thunderously.

In a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, the dinner party came to an end, and everyone dispersed.

Shen Kang instructed Kang Zhengyang to take the banknotes off the cart again, count the exact amount, and then deposit them in the bank.

The total amount of money was 1.6 million, most of which was actually the salary of all the employees present, not belonging to Shen Kang. In other words, Shen Kang had actually taken out everyone's salaries first and displayed them to everyone. Otherwise, if he had only displayed the 100,000 to be distributed, it would have been far too little and lacked visual impact.

After the meal, He Qiuzhu paid for the cassette tape containing the "President Shen's performance" segment from the restaurant. Afterwards, Shen Kang drove He Qiuzhu and Xiao Qingxuan back to the High-tech Zone.

As the car drove away from the restaurant, Xiao Qingxuan, sitting in the back seat, finally voiced the question that had been nagging at her: "Aren't you a student? How come you're now the boss of so many people?"

Shen Kang retorted, "Who says students can't be CEOs?"

Xiao Qingxuan fell silent.

The car drove all the way back to the High-tech Zone. First, they took Xiao Qingxuan to Xiao Bonian's place, and then Shen Kang took He Qiuzhu back to Shenlan Waterfront.

As soon as I entered, I saw that Zhou Man had already returned and was sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Mr. Zhou, I've got something good for you to see."

The home in Shenlan Waterfront is quite well-equipped, and even has a professional DVCAM recorder. Shen Kang put the tape in and started playing it.

The three of them sat down on the sofa and started watching.

Zhou Man watched for a while, finding it both funny and exasperating. Especially when she saw the uniquely creative floral arrangement being presented, she couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter: "This employee of your company is really creative."

Shen Kang smiled as well, "Indeed, I was astonished at the time. This kid is truly creative."

After chatting for a while, the performance by "President Shen" was over, and Zhou Man asked about Xiao Bonian.
